Select your external drive and press the a button.
Can you partition an external hard drive for xbox one.
There should be proper partitions on the drive.
Also 500gb is not going to be enough for the xbox unless you plan on buying another drive in a year or so.
Then choose a partition style and confirm.
Select the xbox one external hard drive which shows as disk unknown not initialized and choose initialize disk from the context menu.
In order to store games it should have a capacity of 256 gb or more.
You need to initialize the hard drive first and then recreate.
Its a better idea anyway because if one fails you ll only lose have the data.
On the next screen you will see your xbox one s internal drive as well as your external drive.
Xbox one can only work with a maximum of 2 external hard drives at once.
I d recommend getting a 2 3tb drive for the xbox so it will do you for a few years.
You ll need two drives.
This will bring you to the settings menu.
But when an xbox one external hard drive is connected no partition is displayed.
